Collectible coins, such as the 1940 Denver Mint one-cent piece (commonly referred to as a penny), are notable for their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The 1940-D cent is part of the Lincoln penny series and features a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse, with the reverse displaying the wheat stalk design. Coins from specific mints, like Denver, can have variations in mintage that affect their collectibility and value. Collectors often seek rolls of these coins to find higher-quality specimens or to complete sets.
